Game Thread for Game 117, Indians at Jays

Cleveland Indians at Toronto Blue Jays, Aug 9, 2008 1:07 PM EDT


We have Doc (13-8, 2.77) going up against Paul Bryd (6-10, 4.72) today. Byrd has been great of late, last 3 starts he's give up 2 earned over 20 innings. Byrd is fun to watch with that rocking chair motion of his.

Lind and Barajas are on little hitting streaks of 6 and 9 games respectively. Barajas is sitting today as Zaun gets the start. Rolen is sitting too. Makes for a fun line up with Wilk (.226 BA), Zaun (.239) and Mac (.198) hitting in the bottom three spots. Lind is batting cleanup today. Thanks Cito. Of course, our team leader in walks is batting fifth with no one behind him to drive him in when he gets on. What would be wrong with Overbay in one of the top three spots, he asks rhetorically.

I am watching the game this afternoon so join me in the thread.

Marte pops out. Anytime someone tells you a prospect is a sure thing

Mention Andy Marte….batting a big .174 this year….192 on the career

Ok that was the dumbest thing I've seen in a game of dumb plays

Overbay…..with us down by two in the ninth, two out, hits a ball to the wall and then gets thrown out at second by oh three steps. He has to know his run doesn’t matter but if he is on the batter is the tying run and we have a chance. But no….FRIG

Suckage Jay? Doc (-.202) though the defense let him down big time. And Rios (-.124) and a big time error in center field

Also Mac had two awful plays with the glove and course Overbay for being too dumb to live
